A Word From the 1isth Pa.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: J. ". Kelley,
Tylersville, Pa, is correct about the gallant
Col. Brooke belonging to the SD Pa, but wrong
about Col. Morris belonging to the 9TH n. Y.
Morris was Colonel of the Goth n. Y. and
was killed in the assault at Cold HarbOr, Va,
June 3, 1864. i would like to know if the
Major that brought tho brigade out of the as
sault at Petersburg, June Is, after Col. Beaver
fell was the same Major that used n carbine so
effectively that evening. If the comrade knows
his name ! would like to hear it. / think the
Major belonged to the Goth n. Y. would also
like TO know what became of Col Brooke, as
he never rejoined the brigade after Cold Har-
Dor.
Another comrade, in giving the organization
of the Fourth Brigade, places the 10th Pa. in
il, which is wrong. The Il6th served in the
old "Irsh Brigade" which was the Second Bril-
gade, First Division, Second Corps The Fourth
Brigade was composed of the following regi-
ments: ID Del, SD li5th and 1iSth Pa, 9th
and Goth y. Y. and 9TH n. Y III. A. The latter
regiment joined the brigade just after Spottsyl-
vania. j have read The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
for two years and have never seen the old
Fourth Brigade mentioned until recently.
always supposed that it got TO the front about
as often as any brigade. / think the assault
and stand on Bald Hill at Cold HarbOr is worthy
of being tOld-C. Il. BARR, Co. L, 145th Pa,

Champion Hills Once More.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: have been
reading so much in your valuable paper about
the charge at Champion Hills that can't stand
IL any longer, without throwing chip on the
fire. In the first place, it was the Third Bril-
gade Third Division, Seventeenth Corps, COM
manded by John ID. Stephenson, that charged
and took that battery. The brigade was COM
posed Of the 18th Mo-, Sth aud Slst ILL.,, and sd
Ohio. The 9TH Mo. was in the reserve during
the most of the battle, guarding the train, about
two miles from the battlefield. At length we re-
ceived orders TO move forward on the double
quick, which we did in good order. When we
arrived on the battlefield we formed in line
with our brigade. While forming saw Gov
Yates, of Illinois, Gen. Mcpherson and Gen.
Grant in the rear of our brigade, on horseback.
1t was the first and last time that i ever saw
the Governor
When everything was ready Gen. Stephenson
told the boys that we had to take that battery,
and in five minutes we had il, with number
Of prisoners belonging 10 the 18th Mo. (Tebel).
We did not stop at that, but kept on the move
At last the whole rebel army was on the re-
treat. 1t was nearly shutdown when Gen. Nc
Pherson came riding up aud halted us, and told
MS that we had done good days work and we
would 60 into camp for the night. Now, Com
rade Ensign, don't want TO take any laurels
from the lone Hundred and Two Dozen"
You won the colors, for being the best drilled
regiment in the Third Division, Seventeenth
Corps: but you did not do all the capturing of
batteries. There were old veterans in Logan's
Division when the flag was drilled for who
wanted TO encourage new recruits. and so they
let the l24th Ill. have the colors. / hope, COM
rades, you won't be offended at me for telling
the truth and what / saw.-JoHS LEARY, 7th

and is the most lifelike and accurate picture of
a battle that have everseen. Itis2ix30 inches,
and shows the brigade as il was going into action
on the 3lst of December 1862, in the cedars to
the right Of the MurfreesbOro pike. Beatty's
Brigade was composed Of the 18th Ohio, 10Th
Ind. and 9th and 18th Ky. This sketch shows
the 18th Ohio and 9th Ky. in tho front line of
battle aud the 10Th Ind. and 1lth Ky. in easy
supporting distance. Every thing about it looks
